This book offers a comprehensive examination of geoengineering with a special focus on the diverse, sometimes new technologies and their potential effects. In the age of advancing climate change, technological approaches to actively influence the climate are becoming increasingly important. From carbon capture and storage to solar radiation management, ocean fertilisation and other innovative methods, this book sheds light on the scientific principles and technical details of these processes. It analyses the opportunities that these technologies offer to slow down climate change and mitigate its consequences. At the same time, the risks and uncertainties associated with the application of large-scale geoengineering measures are discussed. Ethical, legal and social implications are taken into account, as are the challenges of global cooperation and public acceptance. Practical case studies and illustrative examples provide the reader with an insight into current developments and practical applications of geoengineering. Finally, an outlook is given on the future of these technologies and the possible scenarios for their integration into global climate policy are discussed. An indispensable work for anyone who wants to get to grips with the complex challenges and potential of geoengineering.
